FINAL UPDATE: Everyone who’s going to receive a beta key from us should have already received it. I’ve noticed a lot of, um, pointing out that “I sent mine in before [that guy] and I didn’t get one and he did.” The way we did it is – we gave keys out in the order they showed up in our inbox. With the amount of emails we received, it’s entirely likely that they didn’t arrive in the order that they were sent. Of course, we’d have no way of knowing that… so goes the interwebz.
UPDATE #2: The beta keys are sending out now, so check your inboxes (and spam filters). All should be reach their destinations within about 2 hours (it’s 4.23pm Pacific right now). Good luck!
UPDATE: You can stop sending emails now, we’ve gotten more than enough. We’re processing them now and we’ll update right here again once we’ve begun sending out beta keys. Thanks for the awesome response!!!
Our first dive into the world of LittleBigPlanet taught us all about the SackBoy, now it’s time for another visit! The second episode in this series takes us deeper into the wonders of LBP. This time we answer the question- “How do SackBoys Play?” You’ll soon find out, alone or in a pack, these little guys know how to have a good time.
Oh, and a few days ago, we stirred up a bit of a frenzy by handing out the remaining 50 beta keys we had left over from our Orlando Meet-up. Some of you thought that, as the official PlayStation blog, we should have a bit more than 50 to give away. Well, we here at the PSB don’t like having our Bloghood called into question. So, as of the time of this writing, I’m sitting on a monstrous stack of burlap-covered LittleBigPlanet beta keys, and they’re there for the asking. So ask away, send an email to [address removed, all codes have been sent] and we’ll get them out to you.
Now we’ve got *a lot* of beta keys to give away, and I’d hate for you to develop repetitive-stress disorder from whacking your F5 button to refresh your inbox, so expect it to be a few hours before the codes are sent. We’ll update this post when we have it lined up and start pressing the “send” button.
If you receive a code, this paragraph becomes relevant to you:
1. Public Beta Ends October 11th, 2008
2. You must use a consumer PLAYSTATION 3 system that is connected to the internet.
3. You must have a PLAYSTATION Network Account.
4. If you have previously redeemed a LBP voucher code, you must delete any old LBP data (along with save data and game data) and download this version (go to Download History and redownload the new code).
5. This version does not require a DNS redirect and levels created here will be available for consumers at launch of the full title.
6. Please refrain from creating anything inappropriate, as we do have moderation in place and it may result in your account being suspended or banned.
Downloading the LittleBigPlanet Public Beta.
After you have signed in with your PLAYSTATION Network Account, select [Account Management] on the XMB interface located under the ‘PLAYSTATION Network’ tab, then select [Transaction Management] and click on the option ‘Redeem PLAYSTATION Network Card or Promotion Code’. Enter the following unique code to start the download of LittleBigPlanet.
And once you get in, you can start getting creative. What’s that, you’re looking for inspiration? Have a look at Wired’s Top 10 User-Created LittleBigPlanet Adventures.
Jeff, 2 questions:

Beta, beta, beta !!!
E-mail sent, now to sit back and wait. *whistles*
Man. I go to do some yard work for 1.5 hours and now I’m late. Bummer.
I think it’s too late, he said they received thousands of mails…
cant wait!!!!!:s
I actually got a key this morning, but i’m glad you guys did this for the fans.
Thanks Jeff.
Email sent, hopes low.
Jeff, thanks once again for coming through for your fellow PS blog family! I appreciate the chance at really getting a beta this time as other sites have advertised the offer but most haven’t come through yet. Well, once again leave to Jeff and the PS Blog to set the standard online and for other journalists. Way to go. Long time member, been posting on the blog since the beginning!
where is my little big man??? Jeff plzz send me the key!
Email sent
Thanks for the chance.
How many codes are there to give out?
Although, “monstrous stack of burlap-covered LittleBigPlanet beta keys” does sound promising.
I hope to be part of this. It’s probably the best chance I have at introducing the little lady to video games. Even the beep sound when you turn the system on annoys her.
i hope i get in :)
If he has thousands and we’re at like 300+ here, and assuming everyone who’s sent an email posted here… could it be that we’ll get it later? :O
Just arrived at this party. Email sent. Sorry I’m late.
what I have to do exactly? only send a email?
I wish I had the game already!!
I forgot to ask:
May I have a beta key for lbp please?
Sent! Thanks for another opportunity to get into the beta. *crosses fingers*
:-)
Please i wish from a beta key thanks :)
Email sent
Heres hopin, omg cant wait!!
LBP Rules
Hey jeff, probably a silly qeustion seeing as alot will have applied, but will we get indications if we werent successful?
I have a question. I sent an email around 1:30 1:37ish and I sent the email in my computer class. Will I still get one?
Email sent too.
I hope i get one!
the comments doen’t represent the emails Jeff has gotten. There are probably over 1000 emails at least!
this is my 399 times pressing of F5. Jeff please let us know if you that all the keys are given already.
i agree, will you say if we didn’t get one?
i applied for the GS and IGN ones, didn’t get any, no indication of whether or not i failed (which i did)
I’m too late aren’t I? Just sent it a couple of minutes ago. This is my 6th contest and I’ve just about given up.
Hi, pardon the ignorance…but why would someone who has a previously redeemed a lbp voucher try and do it again, if the beta ends for everyone on the 11th?!? Aren’t they all the same beta build???
ha! am I just a tad bit late on sending the email?….. 389 v8 baby
so there’s no limit as to how many u have! anyone that sends an email will get one for sure?
(pleeeeease say yes)
Wow, I think I was REALLY late on the email…
Oh wait I’m in a different timezone. So I may not be too late. Yay! Its actually 5o’clock where I live.
to #388, to help give them to people who do not have one. The more people you have try the better your chances are.
Truely Epic! Thanks!
Thanks a lot Jeffy. I really am grateful for you guys doing this
even with all these ways to get into the beta i doubt ill make it in lol. hopefully that rumor was true that the last week of the beta will be open to everyone sort of like a demo
Damm, I hope I’m not to late?!?!?!?!?! :(
I so so so hope I get in. I’ve tried every other site with no luck. When you say *a lot* do you mean in the thousands?
If I entered around comment 60 how good of a chance do I have of getting selected???
I sent an email around 12:55 pacific time. I hope that’s not too late. I was also in the first 1000 to post in littlebigplanet.us.playstation.com with all the requirements and still have not got a key yet…It could be because I accidently double post due the the site loading error from heavy traffic. It’s not my fault! :)
